英文詞源
- entail
- entail: [14] Entail means literally ‘put a tail on’ – but not the sort that grows. This is a tail in the sense of a ‘legal limitation’. It came from Old French taille, meaning literally ‘cut’, which is also related to English detail, retail, tailor, and tally. The coining of entail itself probably took place in Anglo-Norman. Its current main meaning ‘have as a necessary or logical consequence’ did not develop until as late as the 19th century.
=> detail, retail, tailor, tally - entail (v.)
- mid-14c., "convert (an estate) into 'fee tail' (feudum talliatum)," from en- (1) "make" + taile "legal limitation," especially of inheritance, ruling who succeeds in ownership and preventing the property from being sold off, from Anglo-French taile, Old French taillie, past participle of taillier "allot, cut to shape," from Late Latin taliare "to split" (see tailor). Sense of "have consequences" is 1829, via the notion of "inseparable connection." Related: Entailed; entailling; entailment.
